Default What wires for NGK TR55 spark plugs?

I need some now as my car is dying on me... heres the thread https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...ease-help.html ... so far no one has offered any input. Im gonna pull 1 or 2 of the plugs on my lunch break to see if they are bad. I plan on going to Oreillys or Autozone for the plugs but where can I get some good wires quick? I heard MSD are good but don't know if they are sold in stores... any advice?

Oh and if you guys think my problem is something else let me know.
thanks

I always use and recommend the DWB Select lifetime warranty wires (available at CSK outlets). If they fail or fall apart, just take back to the store and get a new free set. They last about 30K miles, and I have been doing this for three years now.

if you need them fast just go get them from whoever has a set in stock. most likely youll have to order the msds. get some from advance or wherever and then later on get the msds. there not that expensive. do what you want.

yeah i was thinking I was gonna do that anyway, but was wondering if there is a close wireset to the MSDs that a store sells. Every penny I dont spend helps me out.

Check out a couple sponsors on here. The guy's S/N on here is 99blancoss. I picked up a set of NGK 55s with MSD wires for around $70 from him. Best deal I've found by far, considering that's about $20 than I could find anywhere else for just the wires.

Chuck's, Checkers, Kragen and now O'Rilley. Don't waste your money on aftermarket wires, it is all advertising. This way you will never have to buy another set ever again, unlike the others.

MSD's are ****, in my opinion. The problem is not in the wire itself, it is in the way that they click onto the coil, and to the spark plug.

I've ran them for 5 years at least, and have had a few break off in the metal part on the plug. (nitrous car, so plugs get changed regular).

They do not click on with a definative click, so you never know if they are on all the way or not. I'm doing a header install, and going back to a stock type, like the angled GTO ones.

As far as your problem, yes, it could be plugs, wires, coils, 02 sensors, MAF, or a bad ground to the block. 9 out of 10 times, it will be one of those listed.
